    Ultrasonic speckle noise in medical ultrasound images can be reduced by averaging slightly shifted images. This technique improves image quality for clinical applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Ultrasound Technology
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Ultrasonic speckle is a major source of noise in ultrasound imaging.
    • Speckle arises from the random interference of ultrasonic waves within the transducer's sample volume.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a method for reducing ultrasonic speckle noise.
    • To assess the potential for improving clinical ultrasound image quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Averaging multiple ultrasound images.
    • Spatially shifting images relative to each other before averaging.

    Main Results:

    • The described processing method effectively reduces ultrasonic speckle.
    • Image quality is enhanced through speckle reduction.
